Eh, we've still got some word-of-mouth reputation, as both the oldest extant Fallout community and, of course, as a cadre of blind angry reactionary groupthinking cheeto goblins. It isn't entirely unbelievable someone would be interested in a quick little writeup, what with profusion of...

It's been kind of a tradition for me to end up with the stupid-expensive edition of Fallout when it releases since they always come out around my birthday and despite my love/hate relationship with the franchise everyone close to me knows it's one of the only easy gift picks for me. We'll see...

Realistically, there are going to be splinters and leavings for a generatin or two. The death of a widespread high-tech organization isn't going to immediately erase their personnel and equipment from the wasteland. The question is how much focus Bethsoft chooses to put on them. Autumn's right...

I did the same experiment awhile ago, myself. It's actually quite an enjoyable game as long as you 1.) try your hardest to take it for what it is rather than what it could've been and 2.) do your absolute best to utterly minimize your interaction with any other speaking beings. Point Lookout...

As far as I know, none of these places has been canonically pinpointed on a map (except the named pre-war parks in Utah), so you could only sort of handwave in their general direction, at best. Ground Zero on the Long 15 is, of course, going to fall somewhere on Interstate 15 between Califonia...

The thing a lot of people overlook about House is that he's, at the VERY worst, ONLY as oppressive as any given NCR robber baron, and probably not even that. I don't support all of his decisions, and some of them have been brutal, but getting on a high horse about how much better the NCR is is...

I wouldn't be too averse to cybernetics if they implemented them right. As far back as F1, there was supposed to be a gang leader with a cybernetic hand in the Boneyard. Cases like Horrigan and The Lou are state of the art, but the technology exists on a level feasibly accessible to particularly...

There isn't a huge cosplay community here, though I know a few people have put together vault suits. If nobody comes up with much else that's to your liking, you may have some luck looking around on tumblr or Deviantart and directly asking the creators of any you think turned out well. I know...

The cryo-freezing angle isn't necessarily out of keeping with Vault-Tec experimental parameters, either in the name of preserving specific personnel/genetic stock or to study the effects of... I dunno, the psychological impact of culture shock transitional something something handwavey sadistic...

Let's not overlook that this is the East Coast. It's definitely looking like a different setting than the Fallout us old-schoolers were looking for... because it kinda sorta is. I ripped on F3 as much as anyone else here (and F2, for that matter...) for its glaring departures in tone and canon...

Y'know, Fanny, I actually think I'm starting to warm up to your schtick. Not much to say about F4 we haven't visited and revisited in the last 3/4 of a decade. Here's hoping they learned a few lessons from 3's better add-ons and New Vegas and that the presence of androids is kept to a(n...

I would assume that most any energy weapon would get the job done against a standard aluminum airframe that was 300 years old, and especially the heavy ones or the "carver" types like gatling lasers. The max ranges on those things are ludicrous, and the plane is probably less up to the job of...

Numerically speaking, though, Boomers have a lot of the same problems as the BoS. They're also even more cripplingly xenophobic, to the point where they won't even leave Nellis. Since you're talking long-term now, if your enemies aren't kind enough to come at you within the range of Nellis'...

Idealized human iconography was a bit of a thing in Art Deco architecture and similar contemporary styles. You probably noted a fair amount of it in BioShock's Rapture, too. It played into the whole "pinnacle of human achievement" mythos the era had going for it as well as harkening back to the...

(Nukes in my vagina Yemen isn't really that likely at all, for the record. Just figured I'd keep things tidy.) One thing that does have to be acknowledged is that Yemen is to the current (spate of amorphous, ill-defined) conflict what Laos was to Vietnam. I've been caught up in my own business...

I like this. There's promise in it. I thought at first that the finished product looked a bit off, but it made sense once you removed the extra fur and skin detail from the computer model. Do you plan on detailing and painting these at some point, or was this just sort of you taking the printer...

Verdammt kinky Germans. Mein Gott. Now, critical precept, here: Which, if any, DLCs are in? A courier with stewardship over the Big Empty, Sierra Madre vending tech, and/or the unlaunched missiles at The Divide (even if only for bluffing purposes) is going to have a very different bag of tricks...

Let's not be too absolutist, now-- military conflict has solved plenty of things, most notably the problem of how you survive when someone else is sending their military at you. Armies necessitate armies. It's the ugliest kind of circular justification, but since human history (and human...

It could just be me, but the link to the blog seems not to be working correctly from your sig. Was the NMA bit in the URL accidental?

I agree it tends not to be a flattering look, but we've also got an entire lifetime of lived conditioning to make it strange to our eyes and to give us certain expectations about what a dress is meant to accentuate on the wearer. Future generations may not have that baggage. There's also the...
